A creel peg 5, Fig. 4, is provided with a pistol grip 27 and a barrel spring 24 whereby, on pushing the peg into a yarn package, the package can be lifted into position on the creel frame without handling the yarn. The peg is placed in a semi-cylindrical cradle 22, Fig. 5, with a projection 23 disposed to the right; the peg is then turned clockwise so that the projection rides on the outside of the cradle, which is tapered, until it wedges; finally, a pivoted catch (not shown) is engaged in a keyway 44 in the peg to lock it in position. The peg can be given the desired orientation by adjusting the cradle by means of intermeshing serrations 13 and a screw 16 and by turning the bracket 8 about the vertical creel frame member on which it is mounted.

Title: Improvements in composite bladed rotors

Abstract: 1,244,349. Moulding bladed rotors. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., and WHITTAKER CORP. 19 Nov., 1968 [29 Jan., 1968], No. 54782/68. Heading B5A. [Also in Division F1] A turbine or compressor rotor comprises a disc 10 and blades 14 formed from wound filaments bonded together to give an integral assembly. The filaments may be glass fibre or metallic and the bonding agent an epoxy resin or non-organic material, depending on the rotor application. The rotor is constructed by assembling in a mould a circumferential array of resin pedestals 19, each being supported by a pin engaging a hole 22. A hoop 26 is then formed by winding filaments circumferentially in slots 25 adjacent one end of the pedestals 19. Core portions 20 of the blades 14 are added by drawing continuous strands of filaments radially outwardly between adjacent pedestals 19, around a pin (24), Fig. 5 (not shown), and then radially inwardly to pass through the disc 12, between another pair of pedestals 19, around a further pin (24) and so on until the full width of the core portions 20 has been formed. A second hoop 26 is then added by winding filaments in slots 25 adjacent the other end of the pedestals 19. The aerofoil shape of the blades 14 is completed by winding further radial filaments to form the leading and trailing edge regions 28, 30, these filaments being woven into those already forming the disc 12. A tip shroud 16 is formed by cutting the filaments at the tip of each blade 14 and splaying out these filaments in opposite circumferential directions to meet the filaments of adjacent blades. Continuous filaments are then wound circumferentially about the splayed out filaments to form sealing ribs 34 and the outer surfaces of the shroud 16. Fibre glass or other sheet material is then bonded to the surfaces of the rotor and the complete assembly bonded together under pressure in the mould.

Title: Document scanning system
IPC: G06V10/24
Filed: 1973-12-05
Abstract: 1442645 Character recognition systems INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 5 Dec 1973 [18 Dec 1972] 56410/73 Heading G4R A document scanning system detects the presence of a character and determines its size and position during an initial scan, and uses the size and position information to control the parameters of a subsequent recognition scan of the detected character. An area of the document 7 selected by store 37 is scanned by a cathode ray tube 3. Light from the document is received by a photomultiplier 9 which feeds a shift register matrix through which the character is rolled. The start and end of the character are detected by unit 25 which examines the bits in certain stages of two adjacent registers 04, 05. The output signal from unit 25 controls a counter 23 which determines the character width. Register 05 of the matrix feeds a sequence of parallel-bit signals, each representing a vertical scan line of the selected area, to an accumulator 17 which develops a signal representing the vertical shadow of the character. After writing in each parallel-bit signal the accumulator is cycled to provide a serial signal to unit 21 which counts any sequence of "black" bits to determine the height of the shadow developed up to this instant. Sequences less than a certain length are ignored, the counter in unit 21 being reset after each cycle unless it has reached a count representing a character of predetermined minimum height. Once this count has been reached any sequence of black bits separated from the main sequence is also ignored. Thus spurious sequences are ignored Units 21 and the accumulator 17 feed a unit 15 which determines the vertical position of the character in the selected area A unit 27 determines from the width and height signals from units 23 and 21 whether the character size lies within a chosen range. If it does, then unit 29, under the control of a normalization unit 31 which adjusts the scan parameters to take account of the character size and position, causes the c.r.t. 3 to rescan the character. On the other hand, if the character does not lie in the chosen size range a new initial scan is executed as above in another area selected by store 37 as being likely to contain a character to be identified. During the noramlized rescan the photomultiplier output passes to the register matrix as before, the matrix feeding recognition logic 35. If the character is recognized as, say, the dollar sign which is indicative of the start of an amount field, the scan parameters are stored at 35. If it is not so recognized a new area of the document is selected for an initial scan as above.

The knob 12 comprises two synthetic plastics members resiliently snapped together, including a cup-shaped member 12A incorporating the integral spigot 14, and a collar member 12B, Fig. 8, and Fig. 6. In the first axial position, inwardly directed tips 16A of resilient lugs, Fig. 8, of collar 12B enter an annular groove 18 in housing 11. In the second axial position, external splines 17 on two regions of housing 11, Fig. 3, engage internal splines 15, Fig. 6, in collar 12B, thereby locking the knob against rotation, and the knob may optionally there be retained by entry of the lug tips 16A into a further groove (not shown). The air flow regulating valve has a body 1 with an air way 2, a diaphragm 3, and a valve member 4, sliding on a spigot 6 with an 0-ring seal interposed, and supported by a valve spring 5. The adjuster member 13, by means of the knob adjustment movements described above, may be used to govern the compression in a diaphragm spring 10, thereby adjusting the setting of the air flow valve. The adjustment means may be coupled to control devices other than air valves.

Abstract: 1,248,208. Forming frozen fish portions. UNILEVER Ltd. 11 Dec., 1968 [14 Dec., 1967], No. 56813/67. Heading A2U. [Also in Division B5] Frozen portions of fish or simliar food products are formed by injection moulding a quantity of the food into a mould and applying a freezing treatment to the food while in the mould. The injection moulding apparatus comprises a valve 5 rotatable between the position shown in Fig. 2 and that of Fig. 4 (not shown) in which latter position a cut-away segment 9 is flush with the top face of the mould. As a result, the food, e.g. cod, coley or haddock which has been sliced into sufficiently small pieces to enable it to be pumped, can be forced under pressure into the mould and, upon rotation of the valve the supply is first cut off and, owing to the cut-away segment 9, a space is then created into which the food can expand thus relieving the pressure in the mould. The mould consists of an upper plate 3, Fig. 9, and lower block 4 formed with recesses 1 and venting passages 19. The valve is arranged to feed all the recesses 1 simultaneously. After freezing, the food shapes or fingers are removed from the mould by first heating the lower block with a gas burner, raising the upper plate with the shapes still frozen on its underside, moving the upper plate along rails to a position above a conveyer, and then heating the top face of the upper plate to release the shapes on to the conveyer. The mould parts are then washed during separate conveyance on rails and are then reunited and recycled. A succession of moulds may thus follow each other in sequence in a closed cycle conveying system.
